When it comes to dining, 2016 is going to be a good year for Cambridge’s Central Square.

On January 12, the Boston Globe predicted the “Boston-area restaurant trends for 2016.’’ There’s nine predictions in total, all of which can be read on the Globe, ranging from what kinds of food will be served in town to which chefs will be the most prolific. And in the article, the Globe noted that “Central Square and environs will be gaining even more traction in the year to come.’’

Central Square already has a solid food scene. But the neighborhood is expected to soon become home to a whole host of new restaurants, including joints from big Boston names like Joanne Chang (of Meyers + Chang and Flour fame) and Jamie Bissonnette and Ken Oringer (Toro).

“All of Mass. Ave. in Cambridge, from MIT’s campus down through Porter [Square], feels like it will be the most exciting corridor where things are happening in 2016,’’ said Jesse Baerkahn of GraffitoSP, a retail-development firm involved in some of the deals, according to the Globe.

Other up-and-coming foodie neighborhoods might include Fenway and Southie.
